-G3630 (oinos): Generally refers to wine, but in some contexts, it can imply strong drink.

Usage:The term "shekar" refers to fermented beverages that are stronger than wine, often translated as "strong drink" or "intoxicating drink" in English. It is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe alcoholic beverages that can lead to intoxication if consumed in excess. The term is often mentioned in contexts that warn against overindulgence and the potential moral and social consequences of drunkenness.

Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Israel, "shekar" was a common part of daily life and religious practices. It was made from grains or fruits other than grapes, such as dates or barley. While wine was more prevalent, "shekar" was accessible and used in various social and religious settings. The consumption of strong drink was regulated by cultural norms and religious laws, which often emphasized moderation and warned against the dangers of excessive drinking.
